What does CONSUL mean in Scrabble?
noun
An official appointed by a government to live in a foreign city and represent and protect that country's citizens and interests there.
A modern consul handles practical matters for citizens abroad, such as replacing lost passports, assisting travelers in trouble, and supporting local trade relations, without holding the broader diplomatic authority of an ambassador. The word also has a much older sense from ancient Rome, where two consuls were elected each year to jointly lead the republic as its highest magistrates. Later, revolutionary France briefly revived the title, naming three consuls to head the government after 1799. Both the Roman and modern senses share the idea of an official entrusted with representing and protecting a larger community.
